It is your responsibility to understand and comply with the terms of your immigration status during your stay in the United States. A violation of the immigration regulations could jeopardize your student status.

You should always consult with ISS if you have any questions or concerns before taking action.

Tips on How to Stay in Status

ISS encourages students to use the helpful F1 Visa Immigration Guide to review the important immigration rules that they must obey during their studies in the United States. In general, students must remember to:

Keep your immigration documents valid and with current information at all times (including information on your I-20, passport, and F-1 visa).

Report a change to your U.S. address within 10 days of your move to ISS by sending an email to international@uwb.edu.

Maintain a full credit load and enroll full-time for 3 consecutive quarters before taking a vacation quarter.
